"Everyone, this is Fellow Daoist Gu, Gu Yuan. I believe you all have heard of his name to some extent."

Shen Yuming introduced him to the crowd with a smile.

"Brother Shen, you flatter me."

Gu Yuan stood up and cupped his hands towards the crowd: "I am Gu Yuan. Greetings to all fellow daoists and senior brothers."

After speaking, he sat down again.

The crowd's reactions varied: some were disdainful, some indifferent, some smiled, some ignored, and some nodded in acknowledgment.

Gu Yuan didn't mind this at all.

He came today without any specific purpose. If he had any, it was merely curiosity about why Shen Yuming had invited him here.

Additionally, he wanted to meet this person who was as renowned as Li Changsheng and Ji Canghai.

As for now, seeing so many people around, he vaguely realized the purpose of this banquet.

It was clearly a small circle, and because his reputation had grown, being a disciple of Medicine King Mountain, Shen Yuming thought he was now qualified to join.

Seeing the crowd's cold reaction, Shen Yuming didn't mind, casually saying a few words before chatting with the person next to him.

This banquet was more of a casual gathering rather than a formal event.

"Brother Feng, what's the deal with this? He has Demonic Qi on him; isn't he a disciple of the Demon Dao?"

The person to Gu Yuan's left was Feng Shaojie.

Seeing someone familiar, Gu Yuan decided to chat with him.

After all, as fellow disciples, chatting with Feng Shaojie was better than making small talk with strangers.

Feng Shaojie saw Gu Yuan pointing casually at Ji Canghai and couldn't help but twitch his mouth, instinctively whispering, "Junior Brother Gu, lower your voice."

He thought to himself that this junior brother was truly fearless, daring to point and whisper about Ji Canghai.

Ji Canghai was as famous as senior brother Li Changsheng of the inner sect, though a demon cultivator, Qiongming Market had no rule against their entry.

Moreover, none present took the conflict between righteous and demon too seriously, especially concerning someone as formidable as Ji Canghai.

So while everyone understood Ji Canghai's identity, no one would declare enmity.

Indeed, no one dared to.

At most, they turned a blind eye.

Feng Shaojie sensed trouble but didn't say much, only vaguely remarked, "This person's identity is somewhat special, don't overthink it."

The crowd present were all cultivators; even though Gu Yuan's actions and voice were quiet, they didn't go unnoticed.

Upon hearing his words, many gasped, their gazes at Gu Yuan changed, thinking this young man was truly brave to provoke Ji Canghai...

On the surface, everyone continued their own conversations, but they were secretly watching Ji Canghai, eager to see his reaction.

Yet, to everyone's surprise, this notoriously fierce young leader of the Primordial Nether Sect merely glanced at Gu Yuan, then nonchalantly picked up a Spirit Fruit from the Jade Plate to enjoy.

The atmosphere grew suddenly strange...

Shen Yuming picked up a cup of wine, swirling it gently without drinking, and said, "Speaking of which, has anyone heard about this?"

Seeing the crowd's puzzled looks, Shen Yuming smiled and said, "A few days ago, someone already came out of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace and brought out a Phoenix Blood Grass."

Wow!

Upon hearing this, the entire hall erupted in commotion, as if they'd heard something unbelievable.

"What? Phoenix Blood Grass?"

"Is that true?"

"Brother Shen, you must be joking with us. The Phoenix Blood Grass is such a rare Spirit Medicine; it might possibly exist within the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, but how could it be easily brought out?"

Gu Yuan was also somewhat surprised.

He had heard of the Phoenix Blood Grass, supposedly a Second Grade Spirit Medicine.

This Spirit Medicine is said to be formed from the blood of a Divine Phoenix falling onto a Jade Vein, soaking into the vein, absorbing its essence and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, eventually growing over eons into a miraculous Spirit Medicine, possessing an immensely powerful Nirvana Rebirth ability that can resurrect the dead and regrow bones.

In other words, this Spirit Medicine has terrifying healing properties, regardless of how severe the injuries are. As long as the soul isn't completely gone, even if the heart is shattered or the head severed, possessing this Phoenix Blood Grass can revive them!

Even if the Divine Soul is damaged, it can fully recover.

It's no exaggeration to say that having a Phoenix Blood Grass is like having an extra life!

As a cultivator, everyone faces danger at some point.

Who wouldn't want to own such a treasure?

So seeing the crowd's reaction, Gu Yuan wasn't surprised.

However, the Phoenix Blood Grass is indeed a top-grade Spirit Medicine, and it requires genuine Phoenix blood to germinate.

Even Yin God Giants, Yang Spirit Experts, and Primordial Spirit True Immortals would be tempted, as it's useful to them.

Therefore, how could such a thing exist in the small world of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace?

However, since Shen Yuming had already mentioned it, given his status, he wouldn't likely deceive people.

Seeing the crowd grow excited, Shen Yuming smiled and said, "To be honest, it's true. However, the person who obtained that Phoenix Blood Grass is now nowhere to be found."

Upon hearing this, many were astonished, then regretful and envious, yet there was no doubt.

Because if they were in such a position, having obtained a treasure like the Phoenix Blood Grass, they'd certainly disappear first to avoid being targeted.

After all, treasures move hearts.

For a moment, the crowd buzzed with excitement.

Many thought if there's one Phoenix Blood Grass, might there be a second?

If others can obtain it, can I also?

At this moment, someone curiously asked, "How did you hear about this, Brother Shen?"

Shen Yuming shook his head, saying, "To be honest, I know some details, but due to certain reasons, I cannot disclose them."

Seeing some frown, he shifted the conversation and said, "However, I currently possess a Red Dragon Order which hasn't been used. I have no immediate plans to visit the Red Dragon Immortal Palace. If any daoist needs it, I can let them have it."

Red Dragon Order?!

Upon hearing this, many were stunned.

Even Ji Canghai and Lv Kun were taken aback, not expecting Shen Yuming to have such an item and to resist using it, which was quite unusual.

Gu Yuan also sensed something amiss; normally, anyone with a Red Dragon Token would first think of entering the Red Dragon Immortal Palace to seek treasures and opportunities.

If their cultivation truly wasn't sufficient, they might then consider selling it to others!

Shen Yuming possessed the Red Dragon Token but didn't use it himself, instead offering it to others, indicating one of two situations.

First, he intended to exchange it for other desired items.

Second, Shen Yuming had more than one; apart from the one in hand, there was another Red Dragon Token, so he didn't mind this one.
